☆ I was using dating apps to seek validation. When I deleted all of them, I was much happier after ending the addiction.

I deleted all dating apps, which had crept onto my phone like an oil spillage. Grindr started to rule my lifeGrindr is more of a hook-up app than a dating app. I grew up for years feeling isolated and excluded from the standard dating life my straight peers freely enjoyed. AdvertisementI recently finished reading "The Velvet Rage" by psychologist Alan Downs, which theorizes that gay men seek validation to compensate for the shame they felt growing up in a straight man's world. AdvertisementTill then, the distinctive bright orange grid and borderline iconic "brrrrup" notification sound have been silenced for a more old-fashioned dating life.

☆ Opinion: A Sydney ‘copshop’ with a dark history. And the gay community reclaiming it

Police arrest a protester during a gay rights demonstration, which would become known as the first Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras, June 1978. A permanent place to learn and healThere’s never been a more crucial time to record and display the stories and history of my LGBTQI community. LGBTQ+ activists demonstrate in what would evolve into the Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras, 1978. Many arrested gay men were sent to Cooma — the world’s only known jail for gay men — also in New South Wales. My gay community finally gets to tell their own history in a venue that imprisoned and beat us for simply being ourselves.

☆ I got a dangerous surgery at 16 to stop excessive facial blushing, and it ruined my life. Decades later, I can't feel emotions.

At 16, he got an endoscopic thoracic sympathectomy to correct his excessive facial blushing. He's now 40 and still suffering the side effects from the surgery; he can't feel emotions. I couldn't do the things I wanted to do: feel comfortable approaching a girl, speak in front of the class, do drama. AdvertisementThe surgery is most often sought to mitigate excessive sweating (usually of the palms), but sometimes it's used for facial blushing. The side effects have lasted decadesThe surgery took less than an hour, and it has changed my whole life.

☆ I'm 41 and don't know how to drive. People make fun of me, but I'm better off without a car.
  + stars: | 2024-01-24 | by ( Gary Nunn | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +5 min
When I tell people I'm 41 and have never learned to drive, reactions vary depending on where they're from. I'm actually quite proud that I don't drive because I don't congest the roads and the environment. Courtesy of Gary NunnThe main reason I don't drive is pure economicsDriving is expensive — outside the cost of the car itself, you have to pay for insurance, parking, registration, and gas. I also don't drive to prevent myself from being lazy. I'm healthier, have more money, and can bike, take public transportation, or jump in an Uber to get anywhere I need to go.

☆ When my twins were diagnosed with a rare disorder, I was angry at the world. Now I see how special they are.

Read previewThis as-told-to essay is based on a conversation with Amanda Niszczot Riemersma, whose twins have Williams syndrome. They had respiratory problems, and after looking at them, the cardiologist said he thought they had Williams syndrome caused by the deletion of the elastin gene. AdvertisementAll I saw were the negatives: the health abnormalities, such as heart problems, and also potentially with their eyes, teeth, kidneys, and bowels. People with Williams syndrome can have mild to moderate intellectual disability. AdvertisementThose with Williams syndrome commonly have extremely outgoing personalities, unrelentingly happy dispositions, an unending openness to engaging with others, very little social inhibition, excellent linguistic skills, and a natural intuitiveness and empathy.

☆ I inherited my dad's house at 33 after he died unexpectedly. The guilt and embarrassment of suddenly having money was painful.

My sister and I inherited his house and sold it to put deposits down on our own apartments. We knew we'd inherit the house and his possessions; he'd told us we were the only people in his will. We had two weeks to put our dad's house on the market, clear out 40 years of memories, and decide what to do with all his possessions. AdvertisementAdvertisementIt took me a long time to accept the inheritanceI was almost embarrassed by suddenly having money. AdvertisementAdvertisementThe money didn't feel like mine and neither, to a certain extent, did the flat.

☆ I find peoples' lost jewelry on beaches for a living. I have a 90% success rate, and most searches take me under 2 hours.

Michael Oliver would hunt for lost metal as a hobby while working as a forklift driver. I called my business Lost Jewelry Recovery rather than naming it as a metal-detecting service, because jewelry is the main thing clients call me to recover. The equipment tells me exactly where to dig and how far downSometimes I find lost jewelry in five minutes or less. There are heaps of lost rings: engagement rings, wedding rings, family heirlooms, 21 st-birthday rings, grandma's ring — the lot. Reunions are often emotionalSometimes curious beachgoers who've watched the nail-biting search burst into spontaneous applause when I find the lost item.
